Problems solved by technology

One drawback with legacy business application systems stems from how business data and rules are often contained in physically separate table data structures, with little user-friendly representation of the organization or relationships of those structures.
Such table-driven systems are difficult to work with.
The physical separation between related data and between data and rules, the lack of static indications of runtime interactions between data and rules, and other factors make the data and processes of a business application difficult to understand, difficult to create, difficult to debug, and difficult to modify without causing unexpected effects.

Abstract

Embodiments of methods and systems consistent with the present invention enable data-focused analysis of an application by reorganizing execution information generated by an application into categories associated with the data objects used by the application, and displaying or otherwise using the reorganized information for analysis, debugging, execution tracing, etc. of the application. Thus, the application execution information is presented from the data standpoint instead of from the execution sequence standpoint.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 111,794, entitled “Systems and Methods for Modeling and Manipulating a Table-Driven Business Application in an Object-Oriented Environment,” filed Apr. 22, 2005, which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND [0002] 1. Relevant Field [0003] The present inventions generally relate to business application software. More particularly, the inventions relate to systems, methods and computer readable media for modeling of business applications and the use of a model to create, improve, and maintain a business application. [0004] 2. Background Information [0005] One drawback with legacy business application systems stems from how business data and rules are often contained in physically separate table data structures, with little user-friendly representation of the organization or relationships of those structures. Such table-driven systems are difficult to work with. For exam...
